Today's episode was stupendous. Every week we get that one episode that just blows my mind and today was one of those.
First Vatsalya's poetry. Every time Vatsalya's poetry comes and especially he reads it, it seems like it'll shed some light on a family member. Today it was dedicated to Satrupa. I hope that as Anami reads these poems she takes them all to heart and it melts her stance towards Satrupa because she isn't as bad as Anami thinks she is. Yes she left Anami at birth and she uses her adoptive family against her, but she cares for Anami now and wants the best to her. The scene that stood out for me here was how on one side Anami is crying over not knowing Vatsalya and begging for one chance to get to know him and on the other side she's starting to see more and more of Narottam and starting to doubt it.
Moving on from that it's time to think about education. And what a scene! Yes it is important to question the prospective student and test her knowledge, but it's also important to see what the teacher actually knows. I'm going to break this scene down into a few parts. Bear with me.
- Education comes from anywhere - Anami's flashbacks were to highlight that fact. She got asked questions that supposedly a kid at an international college is supposed to know, but your knowledge and teachings can come from anywhere. She read a newspaper title and knew the answer to the first question. She read a 2 rupee book on a bus and knew the answer to a question that not even a teacher knew. She spoke to a seller and learnt something that is not such common knowledge. Really education comes from anywhere. You just need to keep your eyes and mind open because you never know where it can come from.
- Being an international college does not mean good quality teaching - True a teacher does not know everything, but the fact that they are arrogant over their international status means that it appears that they know everything. And if they don't, instead of turning to the Internet, maybe you should accept that you don't know and look to learn something new. At the same time, you shouldn't always run after the brand, but rather look for the quality whether it's knowledge or a cloth.
- Arrogance leads to ignorance - The teacher was arrogant. He thought this jatahdari girl wouldn't be able to answer even the most basic of questions. In the process he became ignorant. Instead of using Anami's questions as a chance to learn something new, he chose to turn to the Internet for the answer. And even when Anami gave the answer, he rolled his eyes and ignored it, thus losing a chance to learn something new.
- Appearance does not signify education - Anami was dismissed because of her appearance. The principal and teacher thought she wouldn't know anything. So they accepted her challenge. But they underestimated her. It doesn't matter what a person looks like. That doesn't signify education.
Overall the education scene was quite informative and well portrayed.
Now on to the final scene that I feel like looking into. Pujan phoning Oberoi. So far Pujan has been seen as a comedic villain. He makes a plan, it fails, he tries again, fails again, and so on. But now he is a strong contender and someone you can't underestimate. Behind the scenes he was working on taking over royal steels quietly. And he would have succeeded if Dheeru hadn't found out and told Adhiraj to tell the family, while phoning Baldev himself. Today the battle has changed. It's no longer just Anami's battle or Adhiraj's battle or a battle between Baldev and Vikram vs. Satrupa and Gayatri. There's now a new battle, between Pujan and Dheeru, and the biggest thing about this battle is that both aren't even aware that they are fighting each other. Dheeru did right by the innocent and informed Baldev and told Adhiraj to tell Vikram. Pujan only saw Adhiraj and assumed this to be a CBI interference. But now that Adhiraj has involved Dheeru in his battle for justice, Dheeru will continue to thwart Pujan's plans and Pujan's real face will continue to come out until both realize that they are really battling each other.
Finally a brief note on the precap. It seems that Anami has started to see through Narottam, but at the same time it might just turn out to be a question that opens up the chance for Narottam to tell his sob story and Anami gets drawn into it. But then again, given that nothing is as it seems, it might just be that Anami has started to suspect Narottam.
Overall a splendid episode especially the college scene and Anami and Vatsalya scene.
